So (from what you've mentioned so far) the problem only occurs when you use your setup with VDJ, but if you use SSL (with everything else exactly the same) there's no problem?
You're using two CDJ-400s but only as controllers, and the sound is output via a DeeJay Trim?
Have you tried disconnecting the Trim, and sending the audio out of the CDJ-400s instead (e.g. different ASIO driver)?
You said it happens with "multiple hardware".....which hardware is/was different? Computer? Sound card? Controller(s)?
Although (based on your info) it does sound like it's a VDJ issue. What are your VDJ settings for sound related stuff?

Correct. Well, more accurately, I have not encountered this problem with SSL yet. I don't use it as often as VDJ.

Aha - sorry about the confusion there.
Normally I use my laptop on a pair of CJ400s, and yes - I use the onboard soundcards on those for output.
However, when I'm at a bar/club that supplies their own equipment, they usually have a pair of Pioneer CDJ1000 mk3's, and so I use timecode CDs, and route the sound output through the Deejay Trim 4&6.
The same problem happens on both setups.

Yep - happy to do that. Do you want screenshots of all my settings tabs, or are there any particular ones you want to see?

Same problem here, sometimes immediately after starting VirtualDJ, yesterday, after 5 hours of playing. HP Pavilion dv6 (all possible optimization options done), Intel i7-2670, 6 gb RAM, different USB ports tried. Using both Audio 4 DJ with timecodes and CDJ-2000 internal sound cards (with CDJs in HID-mode). Sound gets gradually distorted, sometimes momentarily, returning to normal, mostly going worse for good. Heat stays at around 50 degrees celsius, so heat shouldn't be a problem? GPU is integrated, can that have an effect on anything? I only play audio files, with video disabled. Weird..
Oh and I also use Novation Dicers, so I have 3 USB devices connected. Although reconnecting Dicers doesn't do anything..

Just an update, if anyone is still following this thread.. My HP has a piece of software called "HP Coolsense" which modifies the way BIOS is handling processor load and heat, adjusting fan speed and apparently processing performance. Switched the profile to "Coolest", forcing the fan to be more sensitive to temperature changes (I think the processor power state is also affected) and the distortion problem seems to have disappeared..

man.. That's a bummer.. I do apologize to djnanite on that issue.. I hope that in the future this would work.. Sorry if advice may have made you angry regarding the issue.. Was trying to help yet I did learn somethings regarding this..
Again, I apologize.
Again, I apologize.

I know this is an old topic but I am experiencing the exact same issue with my Voxoa M70. In the manual it mentions deejay trim so i'm not sure if that is the internal soundcard it uses but the thread very accurately describes my symptoms. Did this ever get resolved for the OP or does anyone know how to further troubleshoot this?

More info needed.
Please state your computer spec, your operating system, your ASIO buffer setting, whether you've optimised your PC for audio....
Basically, as much detail as possible.

TOSHIBA Qosmio
X505 - Q893'
i5 460m 2.8 ghz
4g ram
Windows 7 home prem
Nvidia Geforce GTX 460m
Voxoa M70 uses a built in soundcard with its own ASIO drivers. It is set at 44.1. VDJ is set to auto latency with the ultra low latency box checked via sound setup.
PC has been optimized according to VDJ guide.
Thus far it happens with a cold boot sometimes. Happens after using it 10 mins or 2 hours. Random. I've had one extended set where it didn't happen at all.
I am running dp latency and it shows all green when I use VDJ and when the problem occurs. Clicking Apply on the sound setup page (resetting asio) during the issue does nothing.
Sometimes it will clear up eventually other times it won't until I restart VDJ or the mixer.
I have also used a powered USB hub and all the ports available on my laptop and the problem still occurs.

If you've not tried unselecting auto latency and/or ultra low latency, try that.
Because VDJ has to deal with domestic audio interfaces as well as pro level ones, some of the settings are only/mainly for non ASIO users.

Really appreciate the response btw......
I have tried both. Manually set the latency in VDJ and unchecked the Ultra low. Interestingly, on the asio driver settings, I only have the options of Super fast, Fast, Normal, Normal Relaxed, Relaxed. I'm not sitting in front of it right now but will post the latency numbers for each of those. I have tried them all and normal seems to be the most consistent.
Could the USB ports be playing a part? I will check the power settings for the USB ports too.

Ok. I went through and made sure all usb settings were set to no turn off to save power. I have tried checked and unchecked Ultra low. Problem appears on both. I have tried manually setting latency and used auto. Problem occurs. I have tried safe mode, problem occurs.
Again, it's is really random. I have run it with and without the game performance software that is recommended sometimes by VDJ users. On the surface, latency doesn't appear to be the issue. Monitor looks good and problem doesn't immediately present itself when I turn of tweaks and run in the read (latency). Thoroughly confused as to what to try next

As mentioned in the thread. I believe I have tried every combo of latency settings. Latency monitor shows all green. Even if I turn on all services and am showing latency spikes it doesn't trigger the distortion. Distortion happens regardless of latency at the time and at completely random intervals. As I mentioned, I might get 5 mins or 4 hours of no issues then it will distort. More often than not I have to restart the mixer or VDJ, however, sometimes, it will fix itself but only after several minutes.

Same here, it slowly starts and gets worse. Same thing that is in video - http://youtu.be/_q06yt7AkEo
Using:
NS7
HP Pavilion dv7
I5 cpu M430 @2.27ghz
6 GB RAM
64-bit OS
VDJ 7.4 Pro
Is there a solution for this problem?

Hi !
I use Hercule 4- Mx on virtual dj and haved a same problem.. but recently i solve it !!1
The bug append when i touch the console with my hand! When static dicharge append on my finger.. the static will crash the program and the sound goes bad !
so i resolve it ... just use a power cord to ground the console (use the green wire on any 3 pin power cord) fix the green wire to the ground point on the console ( this point is to ground a turn table) and plug the cord to ac outlet ! (just use a electric tape to isolate the black and white wire)
Now my console 4 Mx Never crash since i have grounded it !
maby this can help you !

Please do NOT do that!
It is highly dangerous and should never be done!!!
If you want to ground your console you can just connect the ground point of the console, to any piece of metal of a table or a heating unit or whatever.
A possible solution could also be just to wear another pair of shoes, so that you don't get static charged.

Hey,
So everyone is pointing their fingers at a hot laptop, a non grounded unit, latency issue.
From watching the video that someone a few posts above posted.
I think, this issue is not the software or even the computer set up you are using. But something completely different...
SOLAR FLARES! yeap thats your problem..
Actually While its probably not solar flares causing the problem it is something called EMI/RFI .
I am going to make one recommendation buy a tripplite ISOBAR8 so you have 4 separately canceled outlets. Furman, while is good doesn't cancel out interference between the devices plugged in.
That noise in the video sounds alot like a radio frequency interference... usually generated from a cell tower or something of the likings..
Your power cables, and even electrical wiring through your whole house is like an antenna. It will gladly pick up any kind of frequencies it can!
